This Love Your Body painting was inspired by this post on tumblr. I just love the pose, her body, and how she is pinching at her rolls. It’s fantastic and beautiful, I only hope I did the photo justice. This is again simulated watercolor using ArtRage on my iPad.

I was much too tired to upload this last night.
Legs, part of the Love Your Body series but focusing on legs. Inspired by this photo on tumblr. I just love the abstract shapes that I saw in this study. The way the light hit the curves. This is another painting on my iPad via ArtRage.

Another Love Your Body study, I looked for a photo that would have some different proportions from my other models in this series. I used the waster color settings on my iPad (in ArtRage, this app replicates traditional tools better than anything out there IMO) and it makes me wish I had layers when painting on my watercolor block. I may turn this into a physical watercolor, I’m not sure yet. Still, I’m liking this, I think my favorite part is her tummy. iPad painting.

I did this painting on Friday (March 22nd) but am only able to post it today (March 24th). This has been a busy past few days. Just after putting a 44 page publication to bed CHSR (the campus & community radio station I volunteer at) is in the middle of their annual fundraising drive (FunDrive), and the first few events started. It’s been crazy, but fun, I was hocking hot dogs out in the snow on Friday at passing college students, helping The Clockwork Doctor parade around the Farmer’s Market, and then went to an acoustic show that wasn’t my style until Josh Bravener took the stage and started doing some fun covers, and then I was dancing. Add in two other social parties, recording two live shows, one on air (radio) and one live on youtube, helping clean out the station, baking (for two events), and yes, I have been quite busy.
On to the paining. This is another love your body image, I liked the vague lines I drew with a pen so I just added some watercolor to the background to give it something more. I like how it came out. I like the peaceful look to it. It looks like someone comfortable in their own skin, and isn’t that the goal? The Dream?
Done on my iPad.
In this drawing, Rory is very happy to have a balloon. I don’t know what it means other than it’s a happy picture, and I needed a happy today.
